Property From the Former Margaret Krebs Collection

The Modern section opens with a poetic composition by Fantin-Latour dated from 1870, setting the tone for a journey through some of the key moments in modern art history. The selection highlights major works such as an intimate portrait by Pierre Bonnard, a vivid work on paper by Fernand Léger and a sculptural relief by Hans Arp. A playful and enigmatic anamorphosis by Salvador Dalí adds a surreal twist, while works by Utrillo, Buffet, Miro, Vuillard, and Redon anchor the section in the great modernist traditions.
